Default MS III Help

First off, I want to mention that I have not yet gone over the stickies on this subject, as I am posting this from my phone, and it is my first priority for the next few days to studiously pour over them in detail once I get a chance. So, if some are answered in the stickies, please bear with me and I will edit them out further down the road.

Most importantly, is there going to be any support for the MS III? I am a complete noob in this field and will need help with a base map. I have been told that the MS crowd has a lot of help with that.

Assembly is taken care of, my dad is a computer engineer and will put it together to avoid any mistakes.

What do I need exactly? There are a lot of mods and accessories, and franlky, some of them I am unfamiliar with.

For those of you that haven't seen my build, I am building a Locost, using a BP05, a 94/96 hybrid. The wiring is all 94, along with the ECU, but the motor is a 96. I swapped fuel rails, but other than that, most is the same. I have built a turbo manifold, using 38.75" primaries, feeding a 16G6/TD05-HR. I intend on running with 6-8psi, 10 max on this block, I have another waiting to be built for 20+psi. I have about 20" of downpipe/exhaust. I am going to try to utilize the factory wastegate, and am using an unknown Nissan intercooler and BOV for starters. I want to utilise the electronic boost control feature on the MS III. I will be using 315cc injectors to start, and have the mandatory Walbro 255lph pump.

That's about everything I can think of at the moment. Im about to head home from work and crash.

No, MS-III was just released in March to the public and have been selling out each batch of daughter-boards within 15 minutes. There will no support this product.

Build it exactly like the MS-II I've outlined over at miataturbo.wikidot.com

I will be using 315cc injectors to start, and have the mandatory Walbro 255lph pump.
Injectors are too small and pump too big.

Went through your wiki, ordered everything except the IAC as I deleted mine, and I think I have a USB to serial cable floating around somewhere. Will keep posted as it goes.

Yes, I ordered everything suggested on your wiki.

and what I meant about support... yeah, of course there will be support, but is there any base maps now? I definitely need to join that forum too.

Good, I cant remember what's on there anymore. Last time I wrote it up I think I still had the regular stim on there, which is pretty useless for us.

As far as basemaps, it's not really any different than MS-II so those maps convert right over. I have a good MS-III map I use myself, so that's a start; I'm running MS-III w/ seq. fuel and seq. spark.
